How to Be a Crook

]]> This is an excellent video on what it takes to steal other people’s money. If you’re looking for tips, here is a good way to start.

It is incredibly important to have some knowledge of economics in today’s world. Understanding econ will help you to have a much better vantage point on the current crises we are all facing today. In fact, I am even now currently preparing a series of articles on basic econ for LCC readers to reference in the future. Stay tuned for more!

New videos from LearnLiberty.org

]]> LearnLiberty.org is a great new resource for teaching people about libertarian ideas. They regularly produce neat videos demonstrating various principles. A few videos have recently been released that are quite nice.

Social Cooperation: Why Thieves Hate Free Markets – This view explains how the marketplace shares information for mutual self-interest. It is an excellent demonstration of cooperation, counter to the supposed “dog eat dog” mentality that anti-free market people like to propose about the world. Reputation matters!

The Real "Truth About the Economy:" Have Wages Stagnated? – Don Boudreaux argues that we really are better off economically than twenty years ago (contra certain anti-capitalist claims). We should appreciate how the market ecosystem lifts all boats with time.

What You Should Know About School Choice – This is my least favorite video of the three mentioned in this post. What I appreciate about it is the emphasis on competition. Even in the documentary Waiting for Superman (made by immensely less libertarian people), what has become abundantly clear over the past few decades is that a little competition in education goes a very long way. However, my one problem with this video, as with all those who advocate school choice in general, is that school choice programs can very easily become a back door for furthering state control over education. A little free funding was exactly how public schooling was pitched long ago, and I don’t ever want to see homeschooling or private schooling taken in by such tactics. Nonetheless, the market uses what it is given, and competition does work. I can stick to that story.

What is your favorite LearnLiberty.org video? Have you seen a really amazing video online recently that you want to share? Let us know in the comments below.

Stanley Hauerwas on Romans 13

]]> Check out this 5 minute video of Stanley Hauerwas speaking about Romans 13. He is clearly participating in a panel, I suppose on Christians and the state, and he reminds the audience that Romans 12 really does precede Romans 13, and they have to be read together. See what you think…

What you can do to promote liberty

]]> In mid-October, the Libertarian Longhorns hosted the third annual Students for Liberty Austin Conference. I had the opportunity to speak at the conference in the student panel about activism, involvement, and my experiences in the liberty movement. While I felt I rambled a bit at times, I’ve been told by a number of people that it was inspiring. It may be most relevant to students out there, but here it is for your listening pleasure. Many thanks to Jason Rink for posting it on Youtube.

The Freedom to be an Idiot

]]> A very nice summary of one of the powerful arguments against the state and for freedom:

Many many years ago, John Milton made similar arguments regarding the censorship of blasphemous speech and bad doctrine.

Trade is Made of Win

]]> Have you heard of LearnLiberty.org? If not, you should check it out. It’s a great resource of video content for, you guessed it, learning about liberty. I love these videos by Art Carden (a fellow Christian libertarian) called “Trade is Made of Win.”

Consider this question for a moment: If you were asked to explain why a free market is a good thing, how would you do it? What would come to mind? In less than 10 minutes of watching these videos, you can understand the benefits of trade and be ready to explain it to someone else.

Video 1: Wealth Creation

Video 2: Cooperation

Video 3: Conservation

The LearnLiberty.org project is sponsored by the Institute for Humane Studies, so kudos to them for doing great work.
